We adopted our beloved Cooper (previously Ringo) from ARF in 2012.

His calm, quiet demeanour brought a special peace to our home—he truly was an old soul, even as a puppy. We always joked that he never asked for anything. He was happy to go along with whatever schedule presented. He especially loved the snow, greeting it with joy every winter, and was happiest tunnelling his nose through a fresh snowfall.

On November 7, 2025, Cooper joined his feline friend, Taza, across the Rainbow Bridge. He is lovingly missed by his family and his new feline friends, Dolly and Rae, also from ARF.
